I was at Bella Luna on 8/26. The service was wonderful but the food was lacking. The calamari was over cooked very chewy and the canolies were not true to Italia. The filling lack luster. For the price in Merced,CA it is not worth it. I am a true Italian so my assessment is critical I understand but really in today's economy I expected more. I will drive thru to not settle for unappealing food.

This was the first time for me and my daughter. We found a gem in downtown of Merced. Good was so fresh and organic with very delicious flavors.

I came here 10 years ago as a broke college student & the pizza was good. 10 years later, the place has been renovated, the food is stellar, as is their service. I had the crude, with the spicy mezcal drink, followed by the angel pasta, and barely was able to finish the hitman pizza. I’ll definitely be returning — congrats on thriving in Merced!

We had an excellent meal at Bella Luna tonight. Everything from the staff to the meal exceeded our expectations. I had some of the best Chicken Parm I've ever had and I've had it a lot. My wife enjoyed her crab ravioli and we both liked our spumoni for dessert. Highly recommended.

We had a brunch for the veterans women and wives of the men that served. The atmos beer was beautiful. We had an auction. The waitress was on point one person for all of his wonderful hats off kadoodles beautiful work. Presentation of the food was nice. Salad was good. Cookies were the bomb. The noodles fell Short.

Yesterday 9/12 was my first time at Bella Luna. Food was good, atmosphere was good. However, I was put on the spot by the server in front of my staff! As the server was clearing our table, they accidentally spilled ranch on my leg and shoe. No big deal, I cleaned it, my staff cleaned what I couldn’t reach and then the server came and cleaned my shoe as well. He brought the checks, I paid using the QR code and customed my tip amount. The server came to me, brought my receipt confirmation for the payment I made with the recommended tip percentage circled and said “I noticed you didn’t leave me a tip, was it because I dropped ranch on your leg?”. I was caught of guard and just looked at him and said, I did leave you a tip! I was surprised that they felt confident enough to call me out in front of the people I was with.That was unprofessional and embarrassing.

The worst part after experience. We asked if they had happy hour since there was a bar. The bar winter seemed very insulted and rudely said “this is a fine dining restaurant with white table clothes”! We order drinks, he brings them and rather than going to the side of the table where me and my husband we not holding hands, he rudely puts h the drinks in front of our faces and outs them in the table. After the meal, my husband excused himself to the restroom, the waiter comes to the table and lets me k it how much he didn’t like my husband for asking for happy hour.
I can’t rate the food as the condescending wait staff and the refusal to put us at a nice table, even though we had reservations preempted our order and resulted in our departure. Manager was sarcastic and not helpful. Why do older people always get the short shrift at restaurants.

I was looking for a light and refreshing appetizer (it was 105 degrees) and the waiter suggested the Watermelon Burrata. It was excellent!
Vegetarian options: Lots of meatless pasta options.
